And this should also be another factor to consider when selecting a school for your kids. I don’t think it would be rude to ask them about IAQ management practices in their school. We’re just after the safety of our children.

so, we should work together towards the protections of our environment.

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 04:45:01 +0000http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=1301#comment-26578I’m very glad EPA is working with the schools on the radon issue and is testing schools for chemical exposure. California schools can’t do this on their own because of the major budget cuts of the past 3 years and more to come this year. School districts here are laying off teachers and school librarians. Libraries and labs are closing. I can remember when I was in school in the 1960s. Our school buildings were built in the 1950s with large picture windows in them. But no one then worried about radon. It was more common for us to stay inside the rooms because at that time there were a lot of 3ed stage smog alerts that meant we could not go outside, and several times wildfires got close enough to make us stay in because of the smoke and falling embers. A couple of times school was cancelled and we had to stay home because smoke from a forest fire was to thick and too many embers were falling. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 02:53:34 +0000http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=1301#comment-26575Radon-222 is a member of the radioactive decay chain of uranium-238

In a fission nuclear reactor, uranium-238 can be used to breed plutonium-239, which itself can be used in a nuclear weapon or as a reactor fuel source. In fact, in a typical nuclear reactor, up to a third of the generated power does come from the fission of plutonium-239, which is not supplied as a fuel to the reactor, but transmuted from uranium-238.

Is the government using results to “map out” future energy sources?

I am grateful to Dutch Colonialism which built my school who I studied until 12nd grd. in 1974. My school past, good wide ventilation and made the students concentrated learned process. But now, different. Almost our school just interest to develop simple classrooms. Perhaps, for decades, our school should not follow like as your story.

The most important choice I make is to become a shepherd on this enviornment issue. From regular daily life, office environment, your own house, shopping area, health club and so on, you can have many opportunities to show people the way you are doing for the sake of protection of environment.

Once you initiate and set the good example and such good influence will spead and your circle of friends will enventually follow your foot step and gradually this circle will expand and more and more people are really doing it insteading of saying.

And this is my mission of course spreading the seed is just the beginning and we shall anticipate the harvest in the long run
